Emilius; but as the wedding
did not take place till the end of the summer, and as Mr. Emilius, at that
time, never remained in town after the season was over, this was
impossible; it was the Dean of Bobsborough, assisted by one of the minor
canons, who performed the service.
CHAPTER LXXVIII
THE TRIAL
Having told the tale of Lucy Morris to the end, the chronicler must now go
back to the more important persons of this history. It was still early in
April when Lizzie Eustace was taken down to Scotland by her cousin, and
the trial of Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Smiler was fixed to take place at the
Central Criminal Court about the middle of May. Early in May the attorneys
for the prosecution applied to Greystock, asking him whether he would make
arrangements for his cousin's appearance on the occasion, informing him
that she had already been formally summoned. Whereupon he wrote to Lizzie,
telling her what she had better do, in the kindest manner--as though there
had been no cessation of their friendly intercourse; offering to go with
her into court--and naming a hotel at which he would advise her to stay,
during the very short time that she need remain in London.
